No, he may not be a father yet, or even be ready to be a father, but Scotty McCreery will definitely be ready when the time is right for him. The American Idol season 10 champ recently dished on his upcoming album, and what a huge inspiration his father is to him!

Scotty McCreery definitely seems like the perfect all American boy, but he won’t take any credit for who he has become. Instead, McCreery says his father is his inspiration for being the man he is today. Speaking to the Examiner recently, McCreery gushed about his dad: “My father has been incredible to me my whole life,” adding: “He’s always had my back and he’s always teaching me those values and those morals that are important to a young kid and also a growing young adult.”

While McCreery says that he hopes one day he can be half the dad that his father is, right now the 19-year-old is focusing on his new album, set to be released in October. At a recent fan gathering, McCreery revealed that he has cut 18 songs for his album, and then he let a little tidbit slip out. “We’re 90 percent sure that we’ve got a big time singer that’s going to come on this track with me,” Scotty revealed, but did not go into further detail of who that is.
